Key: G major
Verse 1
My name's Buck.
Y 'all know yours.
Hey, we want to begin
with a song that's a true song.
I wrote it and I lived it.
It's a song for the gamblers
and the would -be gamblers
and some of them that
don't gamble no more.
It's entitled very simply
The Nugget Lament.
You know when you lament about something
it means you're sorry.
Brother we're sorry.
The story begins thusly.
Well, I came to the nugget

or if I ever need a friend again
Hey, as I told you before,
this is your show and do whatever you came to do
and let us help you, okay?
Hey, this song we want to do for you now
is a song from an
album that we have out
that we think is the real
honest -to -goodness
all -American music,
and it begins this way.
How did you like the song?
